GIRLS LIKE VIOLENCE: William Writes has a pretty awesome post criticizing my “Sublimity Now!” column. I don’t know that I can respond, necessarily, but I guess I will ask: Can there be a peaceful rapture?

Because I pretty much think no, and his post suggests that this might be a relevant difference between us: I’ll go with rapture over peace, if I have to pick.

But seriously, you should read this post, because its understanding of beauty is really different from mine and yet really appealing to me.
